Yet another controversial toy, this one a play cell phone with Bin Laden’s image in the display just below the word “King”.040922BinLadenToyPhone.jpg

A company called El Club Mexicano, based in Ashboro, N.C., packages and distributes the toy packs. A spokesman tells Channel 9 they stopped shipping them two months ago when they discovered the picture of bin laden. They say they received their shipment from L and M Exports in Miami.

You may remember the name. That’s the same company that shipped a toy depicting a plane spinning between two identical towers, and the serial number on the toy was 9011.

Vega remembers seeing our story on that terror toy.

“It just hit me, with the two towers and the airplane and now this. What’s going on? What else are we going to find in one of these packages?” she comments.

We called L and M Import and Export on Tuesday. They say they get the phones from China and were unaware of the picture of bin Laden. They plan to recall the toy and stop doing business with the company. It’s not clear why that company would put the picture on the phone.

This is the third controversial toy. The first was a toy showing two similar towers with a plane spinning between. It was discovered in an Orange County store.

The second was Osama bin Laden between the same two towers, bought in another state.


I wrote about the first two toys here and here. Pictures of all the toys can be found here.
